Trustees accept truck bid and authorize counteroffer on police car
Summary
The board accepted a $14,200 bid for the 2012 Dodge Ram, declined a $4,500 bid for the 2016 Ford Explorer and authorized a $6,500 counteroffer on the police car while accepting the truck bid.
The village’s online auction closed with a $14,200 bid for a 2012 Dodge Ram and a $4,500 bid for a 2016 Ford Explorer. Trustees discussed whether to accept the bids, counter or relist vehicles. After deliberation, the board accepted the truck bid and authorized staff to issue a $6,500 counteroffer on the police car; the board also authorized an email authorization process for trustees to approve bids if further negotiation is needed.
Trustees noted vehicle condition and marketplace comparisons when deciding whether to accept or counter bids. Treasurer and staff will follow up on bill submission and insurance holds so proceeds can be recorded in the correct fund once checks arrive.
